Turkish Migrations
the Turks went from a meek diplomacy to a ravenous empire in a subsequent amount of time.
They were Polytheistic in the beginning but soon recognized Buddhism and Confucianism as truthful and profound doctrines.
When the Turks took Persia they placed caliphs as figureheads to the public and appointed sultans to local power and control of diplomacy.
The Turks began their conquest of the Byzantium empire in 1071 and toppled the capital of Constantinople in 1453.
The Turks had conflicting agendas and split into the Saljuqs(headed west) and the Ghaznavids(headed east).
The Ghaznavids established a non-nomadic civilization when they settled in northern India.
Birth of the Mongolian Empire
The man who unified the Mongol empire under one ruler was Temujin or Chinggis Khan.
The Mongolian people were originally tribal groups, but under Chinggis Khan, became a powerful military organization.
Policies much better than the old, were established unto the Mongolian empire, by Chinggis Khan.
Enemies who surrendered to the Mongolian armies, were treated kindly by the armies, but any enemy who resisted the Mongols, were slaughtered, or used as shields in future battles.
They went on many conquests, and conquered many lands.
Upon taking control of China, they raided the capital, until the raids became campains of conquest.
The Mongol empire, was split into four regional empires, after the death of Chinggis Khan.
The Mongol empire did not expand its borders very much after Chinggis Khan's death.
Mongol rulers realized they needed to become governers, as well as governers, and failed to acomidate this role.
The Mongols tolerated all religions, until Ilkhan Ghazan publicly converted to Islam, influencing the conversion of hundreds of Mongols, and the slaughter of Christians and Jews.
Long-distance travel and trade became more prominant then in earlier eras, because of Mongolian orders in their realms.
The Mongol policy of resettling people in new lands, encouraged Eurasian integration.
Decline of the Mongols, and after the Mongols
The ilkhan in Persia introduced paper money, a failure int he financial business, and lead to the fall of commerce, and eventually, Mongolian rule.
Mongol rule in China collapsed because of economic dimensions, factional divisions, and epidemic diseases.
As the strength that the Mongols had garnered over the years waned, the Turks resumed the expansive campains that the Mongols had interupted.
The turkish conqueror Tamerlane took the land in Persia that the Mongols had vaccated.
Tamerlane's reign was split in four after his death, because of bitter conflicts between his sons and grandsons.
Foundation of the Ottoman Empire
Took the place of Tamerlane's reign after his last vestiges disappeared.
Osman, the founder of the Ottoman empire, broke away from the saljuq turks, to build his own state, at the expense of the Byzantine empire.
Changed from a nomadic society, when the constructed a foothold in the Balkan peninsula.
Tamerlane temporarily stopped the conquests, destroying the Ottoman empire, and subjecting it to his rule, until his death.
Captured Constantinople, renamed it Istanbul, and converted it as the capital of the Ottoman empire.
